Twitter reacts in shock as Patriots pull off upset win over Steelers

The New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers by a 21-18 margin on Thursday night.

Quarterback Bailey Zappe had a stellar game in the shocking upset win, throwing for 240 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Not only was the New England offense led by Zappe, but it was also led by the stellar play of tight end Hunter Henry, along with wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, who had a team-high 90 receiving yards.

The team was also able to find contributions from running back Ezekiel Elliott. The veteran rusher had 22 carries for 68 yards on the ground, and he added a receiving touchdown to his line as well.

New England’s defense made life difficult for Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who threw for 190 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Safety Jabrill Peppers came up with the takeaway and helped set up one of New England’s touchdowns.
